A booking page that does the admin for you

The same screens your customers and your team use every day — no mock-ups.

No back-and-forth

Customers pick a time that is really free.

Set the hours you work. Shopstar shows what is open, in your customer’s time zone, and takes the slot off the moment it is booked.

  • Open hours, breaks, time off and holidays
  • Start times on the interval you choose
  • No double-bookings, ever

People, rooms, equipment

Never double-book your team or your space.

If a service needs a specific stylist, a room, or a piece of kit, only the times that genuinely work show up.

  • Resources and resource groups
  • Per-resource hours
  • Auto-match to whoever is free

Paid before they arrive

Take the money at the moment they book.

Ask for a deposit or the full amount up front. People show up for bookings they have already paid for.

  • Deposits or payment in full
  • Reminder emails before the appointment
  • Cancellation rules you set
